On Tuesday, May 27th, 2014, The Institute of Condensed Matter and Nanosciences of the Université Catholique de Louvain conferred upon Tom Russell the title of Doctor Honoris Causa. Through this distinction the University wished to pay tribute to his "fundamental contributions to polymer science and to the ingenious applications derived from them, particularly in the field of controlled block copolymer assembly for nanotechnology, and of the structure of functional polymers at interfaces and in the bulk."
